Just found this here. It's just a bit of fun to get your brain working...
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS
This takes less than a minute, but if you're like [big Ade] you'll need some electronic help! [I prefer the mental work out myself!.] Work it out as you go and don't be tempted to cheat by going to the end.
First of all, pick the number of times a week that you'd like to stuff yourself with chocolate (more than once but less than 10)
Multiply this number by 2 (go on, be a pig)
Add 5
Multiply by 50 - I'll wait whilst you go and get the calculator
Now, if you've already had your birthday this year add 1757 if not add 1756
Subtract the 4 digit year that you were born
You should be left with a 3 digit number
The first digit of this was your original number (how many times you want to have chocolate each week)
The next 2 numbers are...... YOUR AGE (oh yes it is!!)
Who says maths can't be useful and fun?
